Police make an arrest in Quincy Center bank robbery

At least one bystander stopped a robber from getting away from the Citizens Bank on Hancock Street Monday afternoon.

Quincy police have arrested a man they say robbed the Citizens Bank in Quincy Center on Monday afternoon.

Capt. John Dougan said police arrested the man at about 2:30 p.m. after at least one bystander stopped the alleged robber from getting away outside the bank at 1200 Hancock St.

Police have not released the man’s name yet. He will be charged with armed robbery, Dougan said.

Dougan said police have searched a parked car linked to the alleged robber at the Lincoln Heights Apartments at 175 Centre St. In the car, officers found another note that was similar to the one used in Monday’s alleged robbery, Dougan said.

Police said the man handed a note to a Citizens Bank teller at about 2:30 p.m. demanding money and saying he had a gun. The teller later identified the man as the robber after he was taken into custody by police, Dougan said.
